Why post this kind of thing on an announcement though...I mean it seems pretty harsh, if not rude.
If you can't get traction and it's really objectively that big of an issue, a separate post seems more appropriate.
I taught Photoshop at the college level prior to 2010, offered experienced PS students extra credit to try out and evaluate software like GIMP, and many of them thanked me for the experience and went on to use it in their professional life. Those who didn't want to take the PS route seemed more than happy to duplicate layers as backups and work destructively a lot of the time, too. We focused on pixel editing logic quite a bit so maybe that's why.
